You need to find a antique mall where you can set up a booth girl...you did great work....yours is different from mine.BUT both Craigs list saves......I love your clean look...congrats on being show a off on Better After....you deserve the Kuddo's

Wow - I needed an idea for my auction found dining set. Was your table top solid wood too? Because mine is mdf with a veneer but I wondered if I sanded carefully, if I could restain.... Yours turned out so beautifully! You've inspired me!

Thanks Ally - I recently refinished a table that was veneer and it turned out great. If the table is in good shape it can be done! If the veneer isn't in good shape you might be able to paint it and get the same look. Good Luck!

Thanks for the comment! I sanded the bottom of the table and chairs, then primed with BIN Shellac based Ultimate Stain Blocker. I then hand painted 2 coats of Behr semi-gloss paint in Sherwinn Williams Moderne White #SW6168. I chose that color because it went well with the fabric. The top of the table was stripped using Citristrip then after lots of sanding I stained with Minwax Specail Walnut and coated with 3 coats of Minwax Polycrylic. Good Luck with your table!

What a unique table. I love it! I have to say the finish on top looks like store quality professionally done. Flawless. Thanks for mentioning the products you used and the Way you did it. I will have to give that a try on my next project to see if it makes a difference.
